According to the statistical report of the
Sunday schools of the United States, rendered
at the late international convention recently
held in Chicago, there has been an increase
in the scholar membership OF all the Sunday
schools i'll the L. 5. since 1884 of 365,645.
1t is interesting to know by what agencies
this increase has been secured, for it shows
that great missionary work has been done
to bring an army of 100000 into active
membership with our Sunday schools. No
more important work can be conceived of,
for it has to do with the destiny of our entire
country.
The last three annual reports of the Amer
lean Sunday School Union, the old unde-
nominational society THAT cares for the
children" who are provided for by no one
else, shows that since 1884. it has brought
1s5,034 children into f,947 new Sunday
schools, number equal to 1000 more than
one-half of all the increase reported as hav-
ing been secured by this and all other agen-
cies during these three years. But this
American Sunday School Union did more
than this-it aided ,s25 other schools, which
have 1914 teachers and 515,7l4 scholars
so that in these three years it reached 9,S72
communities and Sunday schools and 700, 74S
children and youth, and then re-aided and
TeNlSlIeu these SCHOOLS J,Z4D times, besides
making 90, 584 visits to families, supplying
45,019 destitute persons with the scriptures
and holding % ,247 religious meetings. That
there Is great need for more of Just such
work in our country is evident from the fact
that, according TO the international secre-
tary's report, there are but S,034,47S scholars
in all the Sunday schools in the United
States that report to this convention, which
the chairman of the executive committee
said was five per cent too small. If five per
cent were added, we have S,436,201 scholars
in all our Sunday schools. But the state
ment was made that twenty per cent should
be deducted for those over twenty-one and
under six years OF age and those who at
tended more than one school and are counted
twice. which deduction would leave G,74S,9
children and youth of school age in our Sun
day schools, while there are at least 100000
more children of that age in our country.
and very likely most of them attend no Sun
day school.
Truly the American Sunday School Union
is doing great work for present and future
America, for which there is most urgent
need Any who would like TO read its annual
report or aid its work by gift of funds may
